A Dudden Hill councillor who was elected to the Greater London Assembly has said supporting the capital’s recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic is his “immediate priority”.
Cllr Krupesh Hirani was chosen to represent Brent and Harrow following Thursday’s (May 6) City Hall elections, taking over from Navin Shah.
The GLA will be headed by Sadiq Khan, who was re-elected as Mayor of London, and Cllr Hirani said it was important for the new administration to hit the ground running.
“The immediate priority is jobs and London’s recovery from the pandemic,” the Labour councillor said.

A complaint accusing three Brent councillors of breaching the code of conduct by attending a foodbank has been rejected, with a report concluding the visit was to lend support rather than being a political stunt.
